Printing on printers

How would you direct output to a printer?
thru a DLL or something like that?
Thanks,

Hmmm...
I guess I would have to purchase the Rebol/Command to do this?

Maybe there is no simple way for multiplatform aproach to printing.
However - printing is so esential feature I wonder why RT haven't said a
word about it. I think if you can - just generate .html output and browse it
... print from your browser. As for complex layout, you can probably use:
save/png img: %my-image.png to-image layout [your layout code here]
browse %my-image.png
Hmm, maybe Carl or someone else could tell us what's the story with printing
in REBOL? Would it be really complicated to add platform native print dialog
call into REBOL?

Earlier, I wrote a Rebol script that generated HTML and JavaScript so that
the HTML document is automatically printed. I put it on this list, but I
don't recall the message number. If you go hunting around the archive for
the last month or two, you should find it.

It would be nice to have a print dialog in Rebol. Along with some sound
code. And maybe joystick as well.
